On May 9, in Badalona, Spain, the final whistle of the Basketball Champions League (BCL) Finals blew, and the Lithuanian team Rytas lifted the trophy amid a roaring crowd. The victory was hard-won - they trailed throughout the game, fought back in the fourth quarter, staged a comeback in overtime, and finally clinched the championship in the closing moments. Tongwei was there, witnessing all of this alongside basketball fans worldwide.

The BCL Basketball Champions League, hosted by the International Basketball Federation (FIBA), is an annual professional basketball event for European clubs and the highest-level competition organized by FIBA Europe. Each season, it brings together strong teams from over 30 countries to compete on the same stage, attracting millions of fans and reaching a global live audience, covering all of Europe and beyond.

This year marks the 10th season of the BCL. Tongwei teamed up with Sunel, a well-known European photovoltaic (PV) enterprise, to make joint appearances at several important BCL events, witnessing the pursuit of excellence in competitive sports. Just as athletes challenge their limits on the court, Tongwei strives for breakthroughs with ultimate efficiency in the PV industry's full supply chain. We not only pursue technological leadership but are also committed to bringing this "acceleration" to ordinary consumers, ensuring cleaner energy with higher performance to accompany thousands of households in embracing new possibilities for a low-carbon lifestyle.

What Makes a Champion Win?

Rytas won this game by holding on. They didn't panic when trailing, didn't fall apart during stalemates, kept pressing their opponents, and finally completed the comeback in the closing moments. The birth of a champion is never accidental - a team that reaches the end relies on every player doing the right thing in the right position. When all forces converge in the same direction, the result naturally follows.

The same logic applies to the energy transition. No single country or enterprise can accomplish this alone. Young people who start caring about their carbon footprints, commuters who choose green transportation, ordinary households installing PV panels on their roofs, countless enterprises actively reducing emissions and upgrading, and nations taking the lead in advancing low-carbon strategies - every individual and entity, by integrating clean energy use into the daily operations of production, life, and social development, can truly move forward this critical matter concerning the global community of shared future for mankind. Winning is always the result of collective effort.

On the Eve of the Finals, Our CSO Discussed Something Bigger

As the highest-level competition organized by FIBA Europe, the influence of the BCL extends far beyond the court. This year, marking the 10th season of the BCL, the organizers held a special Sustainable Development Forum on the eve of the finals, with the theme: "Can Sports Lead the Energy Transition - From the Court to the Climate Frontline." Dr. Zhu Zihan, Chief Sustainability Officer of Tongwei Co., Ltd., was invited to participate in a roundtable discussion alongside international guests from the energy, sports, and policy sectors.

In his speech, Dr. Zhu emphasized that the global energy transition is not the endeavor of a few but a shared mission in which everyone can participate and contribute - regardless of who you are or where you come from, you can be a force for change. Tongwei's journey exemplifies this: starting from agriculture and growing into the world's only PV enterprise among the Fortune Global 500, Tongwei has consistently taken a leading role in the energy transition. The unique aspect of sports events is their ability to transcend nationalities and identities, bringing millions of people together at the same moment. Tongwei's presence at the BCL aims to leverage such platforms to help more ordinary people see clean energy and understand the energy transition - and participating is simpler than imagined: starting with solar energy on your own roof and embracing clean energy, every household's choice contributes to the global energy transition. This is also Tongwei's long-held belief: Together to win.

Helping ordinary households take this step is exactly what Tongwei has been doing. Tongwei's TNC modules have earned the trust of users worldwide with their exceptional power generation efficiency and stable long-term performance. A single module, with a power generation cycle spanning decades, brings real changes in saved electricity bills and reduced carbon emissions.

A 30-Year "Defense"

Rytas' championship was won point by point while trailing. They withstood pressure in the fourth quarter, held on to their opponents in overtime, and finally secured victory in the closing moments. Their win relied not on a single burst of energy but on perseverance throughout the game.

A basketball game lasts 40 minutes, while a PV module installed on a roof has a service life of two to three decades - this is a much longer competition that tests not explosive power but sustained and stable output. For ordinary households, choosing energy equipment is like selecting a long-term teammate to fight alongside on the journey of energy conservation and emission reduction. While explosive power may be impressive at times, sustained stability is the true foundation for ultimate victory. Tongwei's TNC modules are designed for this very purpose.

Tongwei, ranked among the Fortune Global 500 for three consecutive years, is one of the world's largest PV product manufacturers with a fully autonomous, reliable, and high-quality full supply chain covering polysilicon, cells, and modules. Many choose Tongwei for this "stability" - a large company with guaranteed products. By appearing at the Badalona event, we aim to get closer to users - closer to households still on the fence, closer to those who want to make a difference but haven't taken the first step yet.

Sports can transcend language and borders, uniting people from diverse backgrounds under a common goal, and green energy can do the same. The distance from the Badalona court to your roof is not as far as you think.

Power Your Home, Brighten Your Life. The championship belongs to Rytas, but the roof is yours.
